Sweet rivers of redeeming love
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #806 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Sweet rivers of redeeming love
I see before me lie;
Had I the pinions of a dove,
I'd to those rivers fly.
2 I'd rise superior to my pain,
With joy outstrip the wind;
I'd cross bold Jordan's stormy main,
And leave the world behind.
3 A few more days, or years at most,
My troubles will be o'er;
I hope to join the heavenly host
On Canaan's happy shore.
4 My rapturous soul shall drink and feast
In love's unbounded sea:
The glorious hope of endless rest
Is ravishing to me.
5 O, come, my Saviour, come away,
And bear me to the sky!
Nor let thy chariot wheels delay;
Make haste and bring it nigh.
6 I long to see thy glorious face,
And in thine image shine;
To triumph in victorious grace,
And be forever thine. Tune Title: LAND OF REST
Sweet rivers of redeeming love
On time's tempestuous ocean wide
Author: I. I. Leslie Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #808 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 On time's tempestuous ocean wide,
A gallant ship set sail,
And out into the raging deep
She stood before the gale,
Well fitted to abide the storm,
And angry water's foam,
And bring the captives that she bore
Unto her haven home.
2 Long was to be her voyage the time,
Six thousand years almost,
Ere she would make the highland hights,
Along the heavenly coast;
Yet with her sails expanded wide,
On, on, she swiftly flew,
Bearing with ardent hope and love
Her passengers and crew.
3 Oft tempests have assailed her round,
And stormy winds rose high;
And dark have been the mountain waves
That bore her to the sky;
But o'er them all, with steady helm,
She onward pressed her way;
Her compass, true unto the pole,
Guides her to endless day.
4 Long, long, she has been out, and now
She nears her haven home;
A beacon light hangs o'er her bow,
And bids her thither come;
And voices joyful oft are heard,
And music swelling high:
"The land! the land! the land ahead!"
With rapture now they cry.
5 Now soon will she be safely moored
And anchored in the bay;
And all her passengers on shore
Will keep a festal day;
And long their songs of joy will rise
Beneath high heaven's dome;
They've passed the stormy sea of time,
They've reached their haven home. Tune Title: PERSEVERANCE
On time's tempestuous ocean wide
What though the angry waves roll high
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #809 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 What though the angry waves roll high,
And darkness reigns around?
Let hope be bright in every eye;
Our ship is homeward bound.
What though no moon nor stars appear
Amid the gloom profound?
We will not yield a place to fear;
Our ship is homeward bound.
2 What though the lightnings glare above,
And deafening thunders roar?
Yet with the eye of faith and love
We view the distant shore.
We know that friends will meet us there,
We loved in life before;
And angel forms, all bright and fair,
Line the immortal shore.
3 Then let the fearful thunders roar,
And let the lightnings glare;
We're nearing the eternal shore,
And we are almost there.
Then heave, ye waves, on every side,
And onward, homeward bear
Our fragile bark, 'gainst wind and tide;
For we are almost there.
4 The coward peers, with trembling form,
Into the gloom profound;
But we can smile to view the storm;
Our ship is homeward bound:
And though for us, on time's dark wave
No place of rest be found,
O let our hearts be true and brave;
Our ship is homeward bound.
Tune Title: PERSEVERANCE
What though the angry waves roll high
Far down the ages now
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #811 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Far down the ages now,
Much of her journey done,
The pilgrim church pursues her way,
Until her crown be won.
2 No slacker grows the fight,
No feebler is the foe,
Nor less the need of armor tried,
Of shield and spear and bow.
3 Thus onward still we press
Through evil and through good,
Through pain and poverty and want,
Through peril and through blood.
4 Still faithful to our God,
And to our Captain true,
We follow where he leads the way,
The kingdom in our view. Tune Title: EL KADER
Far down the ages now
O thou whom we adore!
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #812 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 O thou whom we adore!
To bless our earth again,
Assume thine own almighty power,
And o'er the nations reign.
2 The world's desire and hope,
All power to thee is given;
Now set the last great empire up,
Eternal Lord of heaven!
3 A gracious Saviour, thou
Wilt all thy children bless;
And every knee to thee shall bow,
And every tongue confess.
4 According to thy word
Now be thy grace revealed,
And with the knowledge of the Lord
Let all the earth be filled. Tune Title: EL KADER
O thou whom we adore!
A few more years shall roll
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #817 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll,
A few more seasons come,
And we shall meet the loved who now
Are sleeping in the tomb:
Then, O may Lord, prepare
My soul for that great day;
O, wash me in thy precious blood,
And take my sins away!
2 A few more storms shall beat
On this wild, rocky shore,
And we shall be where tempests cease,
And surges swell no more:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that calm day;
O, wash me in thy precious blood,
And take my sins away!
3 A few more struggles here,
A few more partings sore,
A few more toils, a few more tears,
And we shall weep no more:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that blest day;
O, wash me in thy precious blood,
And take my sins away!
4 'Tis but a little while,
And He shall come again,
Who died that we might live, who lives
That we may with him reign:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that glad day;
O, wash me in thy precious blood,
And take my sins away! Tune Title: BONAR
A few more years shall roll
Break, break, eternal day
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #819 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Break, break, eternal day,
Bid darkness flee away;
Pour on our sight,
Light from the world of joy,
Bliss pure without alloy;
Then ne'er shall gloom annoy;
All shall be bright.
2 Rise, rise, thou glorious sun,
Hasten thy race to run;
At God's command,
Extend thy healing wings;
Open joy's long-sealed springs;
Reign, O thou King of kings,
In this dark land!
3 Come, come, thou conquering One,
Reign thou upon thy throne,
In glory bright;
Then shall the ransomed raise,
Unceasing songs of praise,
Throughout eternal days,
In realms of light. Tune Title: AMERICA
Break, break, eternal day
In the sun, and moon, and stars
Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #821 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 In the sun, and moon, and stars,
Signs and wonders have appeared;
Earth has groaned with bloody wars,
And the hearts of men have feared.
2 Soon shall ocean's hoary deep,
Tossed with stronger tempests, rise;
Darker storms the mountains sweep,
Fiercer lightnings rend the skies.
3 Dread alarms shall shake the proud,
Pale amazement, restless fear;
And amid the thunder cloud
Shall the Judge of men appear.
4 But, though from his awful face,
Heaven shall fade, and earth shall fly,
Fear not ye, his chosen race,
Your redemption draweth nigh. Tune Title: PLEYEL
In the sun, and moon, and stars
Clouds of glory lingering
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #822 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Clouds of glory lingering,
Haste! our blessed Jesus bring;
Gleam no longer from afar,
Like a dim, uncertain star.
2 Speed thy coming, blessed One!
We are fainting, sad, and lone;
Why doth yet the star of day
Its bright rising thus delay?
3 Meek and humble trusting ones,
Zion's suffering, trodden sons,
Day and night prevail in prayer,
Till the kingdom ye shall share. Tune Title: PLEYEL
Clouds of glory lingering
Hasten, Lord, the glorious time
Author: Harriet Auber Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #824 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Hasten, Lord, the glorious time,
When, beneath Messiah's sway,
Every nation, every clime,
Shall his righteous will obey.
2 Mightiest kings his power shall own;
Heathen tribes his name adore;
Satan and his host, o'erthrown,
Bound in chains, shall hurt no more.
3 Then shall wars and tumults cease;
Then be banished grief and pain;
Righteousness, and joy, and peace,
Undisturbed, shall ever reign. Tune Title: PLEYEL
Hasten, Lord, the glorious time
